With our wide range of addiction treatment services at our rehab center, we do not push faith on anyone who does not want it as a part of their addiction recovery treatment plan.

However, in our elective Christian groups, faith based 12 step meetings, and Bible studies, someone who does not believe in God can choose to come to none, one, or all of these to hear about God in recovery and how it might help you too.

Alcohol and drug abuse is a hard battle to face and an open mind to try new things could be the difference in someone’s long-term recovery.

While doing any treatment program with outpatient services, we need to look at the whole picture of each individual client.

We work from the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to properly create treatment plans for our clients. Addiction is categorized with 11 criteria that can be summarized in four main components:

• Physical dependence (feeling the need for the substance to function)
• Risky use (behaviors to obtain the substance that put you or others at risk)
• Social problems (losing relationships with family members or friends)
• Impaired control (having the desire to stop using the substance but unable to manage it)

Relapse management is an important component of any treatment program but a focal point of education in an intensive outpatient program setting.

In individual Christian therapy sessions, you will learn individualized coping skills for your substance abuse triggers and co-occurring mental health issues. In faith based group therapy, you will learn coping strategies from others’ intensive outpatient programs you can take with you forever.

When you successfully discharge from your outpatient treatment program, you will continue with the relationships you built in support groups and be part of our faith family for life!

Faith based addiction treatment utilizes all the same methods traditional addiction treatment uses for clinical care from licensed professionals. Christian addiction treatment allows for clients to have a safe space to talk about their faith journey in recovery and be counseled on the Word of God.

There are methods used in both such as: cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt), dialectical behavioral therapy (dbt), and addiction group therapy for both groups of clients. During your faith based recovery program, you will have sessions with Christian groups and individual Christian counseling with a licensed professional who will help you share your spiritual experiences through the recovery process.

An intensive Christian outpatient treatment program consists of three hour sessions 3-5 days/week depending on the client’s individual needs. This includes group therapy, family therapy, individual therapy, individual counseling, etc.

A regular Christian outpatient treatment program is one session, once per week, that helps clients along their long-term addiction recovery journey. Even after you successfully discharge from your intensive Christian outpatient program, you still remain in our faith family to continue with outpatient treatment services, 12 step meetings, and/or Bible studies.

The Mental Health Services Administration shares the incredible impact faith based drug rehabilitation and alcohol rehabilitation centers have on the mental health community in their September 2018 blog entitled: How Faith-based Communities Build Bridges to Treatment.

In this post, SAMHSA shares a study published by the National Library of Medicine that shows clergy members are contacted for help with serious mental health disorders at a rate 7% higher than medical professionals in psychiatry.

What a faith based recovery program can do is bridge the gap between faith and psychiatry so those who need both, can receive both in their time of need.

The Bible teaches that God is the Creator of all things, including advancements in science and medicine, so New Chapter Recovery uses both avenues to give people seeking Christian addiction treatment in New Jersey the best possible treatment plan for success!
